Answer
The Bengalis felt that "they had been insulted, humiliated and tricked." Under the inspiring leadership of Surendranath Banerjea, the agitation spread like wild fire all over Bengal. On 7 August 1905, a massive meeting was held at the Town Hall in Kolkata. The students stood in groups, each holding a banner displaying slogans such as 'Unity is Strength', 'Bande Mataram' and 'No Partition'.
